The record
Gigi Gryce's alto against Art Farmer's trumpet, with Horace Silver, Percy Heath and Kenny Clarke behind them -- a rhythm section that pushes rather than accompanies. Four tracks on a Prestige ten-inch from 1954, PRLP 181, none of them standards by title. Short, and the shortness suits it: nobody stretches out, everybody says something.
